    -40 winters and starting

    I live in Northern Ontario so we see similar temperatures with lots of days well below -30. I've never switched from 15w40 oil even in winter (although I'm sure it would help). Just good glow plugs, batteries, block heater and a decent starter and even with me leaving it sit for months it will...

    Tachometer issue 94

    Unless you recently changed it I would be looking at the tach sensor before the cluster.

    What gauges would you install?

    If you actually drive the truck I would suggest a Pyro before any other gauge.

    Body mount bolts

    When I did mine I just went to a local industrial machine shop with the old hardware and got new ones in grade 8.

    7.3 idi with turbo runs rough above 1000rpms

    Definitely agree how was timing done but also where did the injection pump and injectors come from?

    Electronic fuel pump conversion

    @BeastMaster I agree the electrical connections are a pretty poor setup but you can fix it so they stay on much better. And as far as I was aware the carter's don't have fuel pressure drop issues like people see with the facet pumps. If you have a motor setup with injection pump and turbo way...

    Extending coolant change interval (switching coolants)

    @Slicknik where did you ever see that extended life coolants will cause cativation or ruin a motor? Most elc's are rated for bigger trucks and if you stay away from the ones with orangic acids etc that are harsh they are fine for our trucks? There are many guys running elc in our trucks. Also...

    Yet another E40D Thread

    I'd be checking the tach sensor before anything. Pretty cheap part that fixes alot of e4od issues and if you have no rpm reading under 1000 I'd bet money that is part of the problem

    Bull Moose Injection Pump

    Just a thought but when you say R&D doesn't have a 90cc pump is that because his site says out of stock or did you talk to him? As far as I know all his pumps are only being made to order so the site will always show out of stock you have to call him to purchase a pump

    Rough start when cold?

    The one finger definitely is in the picture was trying not the block the meters screen and not paying attention, but even redoing it without touching either lead still get the 0.7 reading.

    Rough start when cold?

    @austin92 I'd be going back and checking those gps again. Someone can correct me but I'm 99% sure they should be under 1ohm and if they're reading 5+ they aren't heating up. Picture is of my old ones and they're still all reading 0.7-1.1. Anything I've seen and from personal experience new...

    Rough start when cold?

    @austin92 for the ohms of your gps did you mean 0.3-0.6 instead of 5.3-5.6? My 4 year old beru's I replaced didnt even have 5ohms. I second looking at your lift pump if it's not new and really going through your fuel lines/connections because you can have air getting in without visible fuel...

    Push Button GP Setup

    http://www.dieselhub.com/maintenance/idi-manual-glow-plug-switch.html Use the picture in that link as a reference but you can easily have it wired so the WTS light comes on when you hit your manual push button if you want. Like others have said though not really needed

    IDI Cooling System Capacity?

    Going from a 50/50 mix of coolant/water to say a 60/40 of coolant/water will lower the freezing point not raise it. Also, the idi system is listed as around 7-8 gallons so 4gal of coolant assuming its concentrated not a premix is more then fine? Could even go up to 5gal and be okay in all...

    My first idi, hooked already

    Hi there first of all, welcome to the idi life. If by temp gauge and oil pressure you mean the ones in your factory cluster, those are more or less dummy lights so leave those alone and install actual aftermarket gauges to see real readings. Someone more knowledgeable can correct me but, as...

    Fuel heater leak air intrusion?

    If you see a leak at the fuel heater that's 100% causing air intrusion. Have to fix it and see if the problem goes away. You could have more places sucking air but easiest to eliminate the problem you already know about and go from there

    What turbo is this??

    @IDIBRONCO good information to know thanks! I know when looking up turbo kits I seen some of the banks ones had banks cast into the turbos so wasnt sure

    What turbo is this??

    @bbjordan that would make sense then all the pieces other then turbo have cts cast into them followed by some numbers. I think the picture makes it look worse but definitely needs a rebuild before I'd ever run it.

    What turbo is this??

    Thank you both for quick responses I'll give hypermax an email and go from there!

    What turbo is this??

    Had the normal circular intake mounted on it and no where on the turbo says banks if that helps any

    What turbo is this??

    Hi all looking for some advice on which turbo set up this is as well as what pieces are missing. I realize that this question probably gets asked alot but I cant figure it out and any help would be greatly appreciated. Came with the 94 7.3 idi motor I got off a guy that did a 12v swap. I know my...

    What's your favorite method for degreasing an IDI?

    I guess I should have not assumed everyone would be smart enough to use some sort of towel under the foil to avoid said zaps lol my bad. And like I said not necessary but for anyone scared to get the electrical wet it can't hurt to take precautions
